Business clinical waste disposal

Clinical Waste is any waste which poses a threat of infection to humans. The term also includes drugs or other pharmaceutical products.

Clinical waste is mainly produced by hospitals, health clinics, doctors' surgeries and veterinary practices, but also arises from residential homes, nursing homes and private households.

Examples of clinical waste include:

human or animal tissue

blood or other bodily fluids

excretions

drugs or other pharmaceutical products

swabs or dressings

emptied stoma and colostomy bags

syringes, needles or other sharp instruments.

Reigate & Banstead do not operate a business clinical waste collection service. This includes Care Homes. However our domestic residental clinical waste service is handled by PHS All Clear, see the PHS All Clear website.

There are alternative suppliers available. It is your responsibility to ensure that a registered carrier is used for this type of waste, the Environment Agency website has a public register of all companies who are registered to remove this waste.
